Sadly, we're still sick...We finally celebrated Christmas, as best we could, on the 28th, and E had a fun 17th birthday on the 29th - she's the only healthy one!So I won't be posting here anytime soon... but I just wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year and may 2015 be all you want it to be :-)

December's theme is no surprise - 'Tis the Season...And I like this week's theme, as so often December is rather chaotic (which is why I needed a wee blog break to prepare!).So here's my chaotic desk - before I create some order and make this month's Full Moon Dreamboard...

... and here's the serene Elder Moon at 5 am this morning, before she sank behind the trees at the back of the house.

This wee artwork has sat on my desk since 2009. It reminds me to experience each day deeply. As the text says at the very bottom, 'What a realisation of something more'. Click the image to visit its creator's corner of Blogland.

About Me

I suffered a serious stroke over 10 years ago (aged 43 at the time) and it's been a slow, often frustrating, recovery...
I lost my speech and was totally paralyzed on my right side, but with patience and regular physiotherapy, I can now speak, walk short distances, operate the computer, but my right side is still paralyzed. I get botox injections 3 times a year in my right bicep and forearm, which relaxes the high-tone muscles and makes it easier to stand and walk. Last year I started weekly sessions of hydrotherapy, where I build up the wasted muscles by exercising while supported by the warm water. It's bliss at the time, but I ache like heck next day - but it's so worth it :)
